I bought these (bought 2 four-packs) for emergency lighting in cases of power outages in my all electric home. I have stored them in lots of convenient places (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, den, guest room) with the batteries (the batteries are not included so I bought enough rechargeables so I had them for all of them) in bags but not inside of them. This way the batteries will be fresh when I put them in when I need them. The light they provide is enough that I feel safe and "not in the dark"…

I also really like how the carry handles fold down and fit onto the side snugly, keeping the cover from popping up, thus no accidental powering up the light.It's a plastic housing that seems like it'll stand up to some abuse but I don't plan on testing out its sturdiness since it seems line a rigid plastic with little to no flex.The light is very bright and evenly brilliant…

The price is absolutely right for this pair of lanterns. They're bright, reasonably solid, and light weight. So far I've used each one for maybe a dozen hours just to see how they operate, and there have been no problems. There are two characteristics that each knocked off a half star, leaving a solid four.First, the carry handles don't have an in-built way to keep them together. While the design is nifty, folding upward from both sides, the shape of the top prevents the lantern from staying…

Pros:–Bought four pack of the advertised 350 lumen lanterns with yellow filters, and a three pack rated 146 lumens with 30 clear LED bulbs. Cannot see much difference between light output and coverage area between either brand, so be careful not to heavily rely on the numbers game. The yellow cover casts a slightly warmer light and is easier on the eyes, whereas the exposed LEDs are brighter white.–Purchased seven lanterns total from two vendors, all arrived operational with no obvious…
